I tried ChatGPT over the holidays (paid) vs. claude.ai (paid). After trying some prompts that worked well on Claude in ChatGPT, I understand why people are so annoyed about AI slop. The speech patterns in text output for ChatGPT are both obvious and annoying, and impossible to unsee when people use them in written communication.

Claude isn't without problems ("You're absolutely right"), but I feel that some of the perception there is around the limited set of phrases the coding agent uses regularly, and comes less from the multi-paragraph responses from the chatbot.
